In One Piece Chapter 1066, Jaguar D. Saul isn’t technically dead, and that’s fine. The stories written by Eiichiro Oda are highly respected. But he has his weaknesses, just like any other writer. Several major figures have mysteriously reappeared after supposedly dying on pivotal occasions. One Piece Chapter 1066 is where this debate really shines.
Saul has been missing for some time, but he has been found to be alive and well. At the moment, he is concealed in Elbaf. Nonetheless, there is a major distinction between his survival and that of others like Pell and Pagaya. Saul will continue to be important beyond One Piece Chapter 1066.
There was no graphic depiction of his death. The possibility of Saul’s survival had been discussed for a long time before Chapter 1066 of One Piece. Keep in mind that the Hie Hie no Mi, Aokiji’s Devil Fruit, was responsible for his initial stasis. Unless he was dismembered into a large number of bits, Saul could presumably be revived from cryogenic suspension by simply warming him up. Aokiji employed the Ice Time Capsule method. The purpose of a time capsule is to preserve items for future generations to enjoy. Aokiji’s reluctance in the Ohara incident is indicative of his lack of intent to kill Saul. Even if he did, Saul still had other options for staying alive.
Heavy bandaging can be seen on the giant in Chapter 1066 of One Piece. The Buster Call’s raging fires would have likely melted the ice on Aokiji. This provides Saul with an option that is at least conceivable for getting out of his current situation. There is no analogy to be made between Saul’s “death” and any other hoax. The stakes are artificially ratcheted up due to Oda’s use of fake-out fatalities, but that’s a fact. Back in Skypiea arc, Pagaya dodged Enel’s lightning bolt. In the Alabasta drama, Pell was responsible for tanking a bomb with the potential to destroy an entire city. After being hit by Oven’s halberd on Whole Cake Island, Pound managed to keep his cool. Although, Saul can’t be compared to those people. First of all, the primary antagonists didn’t utilise his death as a means of creating a false feeling of threat because he had been thought dead for over a decade. A giant’s survival in an ice capsule is also more likely than the following alternatives.
Experiencing a god’s mighty lightning bolt
Being in close proximity to an explosion powerful enough to level a city.
Being stabbed by a Yonko commander who means to murder you
Saul’s personal survival is essential to the story, unlike that of the “Will of P.” members. It’s made abundantly clear in Chapter 1066 of One Piece that he’s obligated to continue the Ohara scholars’ legacy. The deaths of the “Will of P.” members wouldn’t have altered the plot, but Saul’s demise in Chapter 1066 of One Piece does.
This behemoth still has value. Even if Oda uses fake-out deaths too often, they are appropriate in Saul’s case. He made sure that Elbaf, the Land of Giants, would keep Ohara’s discoveries safe. Sooner or later, Saul will reveal some huge plot points or lore revelations. The events of Chapter 1066 of One Piece provide the Straw Hats and Nico Robin with even more incentive to pay Port Chimera a visit. At the very least, readers will recognise how unusual it is for Robin to shed tears of happiness.
